Undergraduate Handbook (2005-2006)
Student Competitions
|
There are two major competitions in which our students participate.
The first is the annual William Lowell Putnam
Competition. This is open to any student without a college
degree. A student may only take the Putnam exam four times. Students
should alert the Undergraduate
Coordinator no later than October 1 if they are interested in
taking the Putnam examination.
The second competition is the Louisiana-Mississippi Section of the Mathematical Association of America's (MAA) undergraduate competition. This typically involves a road trip to the MAA regional conference in the Spring. Mississippi State has won this competition six times since 1990. Membership on the team is by invitation only. |
